FT LAUDERDALE (CBSMiami) - Orencia Barzey of Lauderhill may soon be getting lots of calls from long lost relatives she's never heard of.
That's because she claimed the $80 million jackpot prize for the Powerball drawing held on Saturday, June 20, 2015.
Barzey, 37, chose to receive the winnings as a one-time, lump-sum payment of $49,566,294.92.
"I was very shocked when I checked the Lottery's website and the numbers on my ticket matched what was on the screen," said Barzey. "I don't plan on changing much about my lifestyle, but I do plan on helping my family with my winnings."
The jackpot-winning Quick Pick ticket was purchased at the Best Value Food Store, located at 1040 Northwest 47th Avenue in Plantation.
The store will receive $40,000 for selling the winning ticket.
The next Powerball drawing will be held Saturday, June 27, with an estimated $50 million jackpot.
